So today is the start of so many changes! I have started this new eating plan a friend gave to me and the basics of it is there is 5 stages and they last 4 days.... I clearly have started the first one and it is really basic can't even have any meat so the next 4 days will be a little hard but i know i will power through. I am doing this for so many reasons the biggest being i want to start eating so much better and small portions of everything and closely followed by i want to lose a heap of weight all weight i gained 8 years ago when i was pregnant with jack. I know i have a tough road ahead of me but i am so determine to do this i want my kids to be proud of me and look at me for examples specially when it comes to food!Mind you jack eats my dairy and fruit then me but doesn't really eat many veggies or meat. I would like Lilly to grow up seeing that mummy eats really well and can do anything i put my mind to.
So my ultimate goal is to east my fruit and veggies,smaller portions and lose around 20kg all by the end of the year which i know is doable specially if i stick to this. I am going to stick to my eating plan for a few months and then see where i am at and then maybe start back on food i would normally eat but modify a few things to it.For these first 4 days i am not really going to push the exercise but once i start my new lot of food i will start.. if it is raining and i cant walk to pick Jack up i will do some yoga(or if i can set up my treadmill if i find a spot for it).
I haven't weighed myself as yet but i did take measurements of my waist and i will measure a few other things tomorrow morning when i have the time.But i will only weight myself every month and measure every week... i know some weeks a lot will come off and other weeks not so much but even if it is a small amount i know it is something and just one step closer.
I have no idea if anyone will even read this but i guess i am doing it for me so i can say how i am feeling and so forth and if people want to follow my journey then YAY for them!!!
Well gunna go need to get ready to pick jack up from school soon!!

Hey it's Bob. I like the idea of a blog to record your journey to fitness and health.
ReplyDeleteSince I moved away from the Mountains (and the gym) i have stacked on more and more weight. Ive been trying to make it to the local gym but due to work and commitments i can barely do more than once a week. I am going on a healthy eating plan soon (although im a supposed vegetarian, there are still plenty of bad things to eat) so i can lose a bit of weight. Can we do it? you probably can. me? i dont know.
make sure you research any supplements before you take them. Personal trainers dont often check the efficacy or potential harm of popular fitness supplements.
I have my own blog over at reverenddrbob.blogspot.com, but it isnt a fitness blog, more of a skepticism blog.
Aww thanx for checking this out bob!!! I will be doing all of this on my own.. no personal trainers (cant afford one and well with 2 kids and soon a job no time)
ReplyDeleteIf i can do this... Anyone can. I am really finding that food is the biggest part of losing weight closely followed by exercise!
:D
